Drupal 7

Improved performance, customization and theming compared to the old 6.x-1.x branch. This is being actively developed, and new features will be added in the future.

Drupal 6

The 6.x-2.x branch is based on the 7.x-1.x branch, and includes all the benefits over the old 6.x-1.x branch. 6.x-1.x has reached end of life, and users should upgrade to 6.x-2.x or Drupal 7 with the 7.x-1.x branch.

It is highly recommended to install the jquery_ui module. This will progressively enhance the forecast-page for users with javascript enabled.

Upgrading

Upgrades are in place for:
- 6.x-1.x to 6.x-2.x
- 6.x-1.x to 7.x-1.x
- 6.x-2.x to 7.x-1.x
Everything should be converted automatically, just overwrite the old module folder and run the upgrade script.Note: If you upgrade from 6.x-1.x to 6.x-2.x and plan to move to Drupal 7 after that, cron must be run at least once while using 6.x-2.x before moving to the 7.x-1.x branch.

Roadmap

"AJAX-y" location adding - type in a few letters in a location name, and get a list of suggestions, like many other autocomplete interfaces in Drupal.

Integration with location-aware modules like Location and GeoNames, when these modules are ready for D7.
